I don't see how the author did anything of bad form. He freely admits that
the machine is similar to John Kleinbauer's, but that he has not seen the
plans, even gives a link.
There is nothing wrong building something similar to John's machines by
yourself, and if my memory serves me right John has even encouraged it,
right here on this list, to look at his pictures and build something
similar.
